@jkb no the spanish/french "free speech bus"

@CobaltVelvet Oh shoot I had completely forgotten about this particular burst of steaming diarrhea. That's the bad part about free speech: even toxic morons benefit from it, while punching them in the face is still illegal.

@noelle @CobaltVelvet Good to know where Nazi Jack's priorities lie

@noelle @CobaltVelvet

Note: I will be happy to use my birdsite account to boost any message that irritates the authoritarians (was going to add "to the point where they try to suppress it", but really -- anything that irritates them seems like a good candidate for boosting).

@woozle @noelle @CobaltVelvet you don't even have to be very elaborate https://twitter.com/lana_chan_/status/913553420971380736

I'm pretty sure with unlimited time I could convince anyone that locking the bus and burning them all alive inside would be legitimate and appropriate self-defense.

@CobaltVelvet These fuckers should be burned for sure. I'm in.

We'd put some napalm-like thing over it, stand in a circle around and play Drop The Match by Winds of Plague, just loud enough to barely cover their screams.

A truly good day for humanity and justice.

@CobaltVelvet It does, at least, get vandalized pretty much everywhere it shows up, according to accounts I have read.

@gcupc yeah but then it's hard to know for sure if it does or if it only gets mentioned when it's vandalized, i mean *usually* journalists and people tend to ignore even the worst stuff until an event is noticeable enough to talk about it

@CobaltVelvet Yeah, good point. But if I ever see it, I will make a point of vandalizing it.

@benofbrown this one is from spain, but i'm pretty sure it or similar existed in the uk

these people would never get convicted anyway

@CobaltVelvet You'd be surprised, according to the latest figures (which are for 2013-2014) over 80% of those charged with transphobic or homophobic hate crimes were convicted. The report doesn't break down how many were homophobic and how many were transphobic.

@benofbrown @CobaltVelvet And this excludes the hate crimes for which no charges were pressed at all because they were dismissed as bad taste humour.

@jkb @CobaltVelvet Yes, that's true. There aren't any stats for that, though the CPS talk about making progress in this area.

@sydneyfalk @CobaltVelvet Also for informational purposes don't fully saturate gasoline with styrofoam packing material as it forms a highly flammable substance that's very sticky

@troubleMoney @CobaltVelvet

Hey, it turns out there's a LOT of stuff you shouldn't mix gasoline with because it'll thicken and get sticky, like with Styrofoam -- apparently lye soap can do it, as can animal blood (which is readily available at butcher shops).

Everybody be super careful!
